Motherhood

Women's Liberation is just a lot of foolishness. It's the men who are discriminated against. They can't bear children. And no one's likely to do anything about that. ~Golda Meir

Today at the store I ran into a good friend and homeschooling mom to four children. Seeing her and her children reminded me of a beautiful poem she has on her blog titled "They Tie You Down".

It got me thinking about how much I love being a mother. There is absolutely nothing I would enjoy more than doing what I do on daily basis. Although it is difficult to put into words how I feel, here are a few reasons why I love being a mother:

Sunny, It's always like 'finding the treasure' when I pull up your blog and see something new. It's the best way of sharing your thoughts, pictures and family happenings. Thanks for sharing. Love ya, Mom

Hey! I'm so glad you came on and made a post on my blog ! I've been meaning to come and find you, but with all the sickness and holidays it's been a crazy time for us! It has been so fun to read all about what you guys are up to and see the fun pictures of your little girl. She is getting so big and beautiful! All I can say to all the things you wrote on here is AMEN! And it gets even more fun the more you have :o) I'll be checking back often! Oh, and I also might have some fun girl clothes for you if you are interested. Josh and I are trying to purge all of our older girls clothes, but they are so cute I can't bear to just throw them out. What size is Antalya? In the next month or so we will be trying to figure out what to do with the stuff, so let me know!

What a terrific list! Well, it's no surpirse as it came from a terrific mother. We love early morning snuggles in bed too. I can just picture Antalya's little head poking over your shoulder as you create one of your delicious dinners!

Thank you so much for this post. I really liked the quote at the beginning too.
